| View from our kitchen window - trees and mist... |
I am grateful for winter and the excuse to hang out in my trackies and slippers every evening.
I am grateful for winter and the excuse to eat porridge and golden syrup for breakfast with the kids.
I am grateful for mist and the view from my kitchen window - some mornings this week, the ethereal atmosphere created by the mists has lasted until lunchtime at least. It's calming.
I am grateful for Downton Abbey on download so that we have been able to revel in the TV series without the annoyance of advertisments.
The downside of that is that we our internet download is now restricted and we are shaped....which makes me incredibly grateful for our normal lightening speed of internet connection. I now feel like a temporary IT pauper. (Indeed, this post make take hours, quite literally, to publish....)
I am grateful for Al of Pink Fibro fame for her sage advice on a pitch.
I am grateful to Maxabella for the incentive to post, despite speed restrictions.


We had that mist come in quite suddenly yesterday! I woke up and the sun was shining, but by mid morning when the postie came I could barely see the house across the street.
ReplyDeleteIm wondering if I live in Adelaide or Melbourne?!
I am grateful for your blog. It makes me happy xxxxx
ReplyDeleteOoh, instant cravings for porridge with golden syrup! Tomorrow's breakfast, definitely! I agree with you on all of the above points, except we have yet to have any mist...
ReplyDeleteWe have porridge every morning. Yum! Loving Downton Abbey too, it is so much fun. Happy Weekend to you. Gill xo

Porridge is the ultimate breakfast in winter. What a great list of things to be grateful for, minus the slow internet... I know how frustrating that can be! xxx
ReplyDeleteGrateful for the mists - what a lovely sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI forgot that it was winter there. :) Funny to rad as we sit her in 90 degree weather about to celebrate the 4th of July... lol

Same, I love the mist. We get it here, rolling mist and cloud. It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAs for Downton Abbey... it's worth being shaped for!

Am grateful for trackies and slippers too - yet am getting impatient with winter now and won't be sorry to see the end of it!
ReplyDeleteLovely mist. I love the way streetlights look in fog - such a cosy glow.
Been hanging out in trackies and bed socks at night LOL!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo too.
Love our porridge with honey mmmm...
Loving Downtown Abbey too. We TiVo it and FF the ads :)
Loving your blog xx
Ooooh, I might run off and download Downton Abbey now!
ReplyDeleteThat photo of the mist is absolutely beautiful!!!
Mists are beautiful! I love being able to emerge at 11am when it is still misty and feel like I haven't missed half the day!
ReplyDeleteTotally coincidentally (as I hadn't read this post yet) I admired the mist over my own valley view this morning and thought of you. I think you posted about your mist quite some time ago and I've always felt it connected us somehow.
ReplyDeleteANYWAY, so happy you posted on the mist day to make a coincidence so meaningful. Especially with the speed. x
